Try "USER me@haggis"

So where do the logs say it's looking? Can you disable
pop3 from inetd and run it in debug mode on the console? Or
turn up the logging to debug mode to see what happens when you connect?

It may be looking in $HOME/Mailbox or similar. One "cheat" you
could do is just symlink back to /var/mail/me .
